Double Blind Studies 2012-2023
​​​​

​

​

Following the scientific 'double blind study', I put drawings into the  testing space of photography. A double negative, a bilateral symmetry, a  photogram like effect-- reveal something the drawing was blind to, before it was transformed into a print. The site of drawing recalls forensics of pinned specimens on a wall. If the procedure is modernist, the results are speculative. Just-the-facts yields to primitive science. The air is dense like chalk dust on a blackboard. An approach to life. There are sixty-plus double blind digital files in the series, of which a dozen were printed as gelatin silver prints in 2012.  These prints are now in private collections in New York City, Helsinki, and California.

Prints from this series were shown in 2014 at SF Camerawork, San Francisco, for Up All Night, juried by Hesse McGraw; and with Cerritos College, Norwalk, greater Los Angeles, for a solo show, Christina McPhee: Second Sight, curated by James MacDevitt, 2016 (catalog).
